Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 247
In the governor’s office.Langdon Campbell, the guy with a net worth over 5 billion dollars, was standing like a servant in front of Jeff Druze, the current president of the country. The world-renowned pharmacist, Denise Egor was also there. She was sipping what looked like blood mixed with wine.Langdon’s heart was beating loudly for being in the presence of these two. After all, they had the power and influence to tear his empire apart if they wanted.“You don’t need to get anxious, Mr. Langdon,” Denise comfortably spoke. “We are not going to ask you anything about your deals with the mafia, or about releasing criminals as you want, or even about the international flower project you got going for yourself. We know you traffic drugs, women, and children, and that your real net worth is over 60 billion dollars, but we don’t give a shit about all that right now. We only came here secretly because of the need of the hour. Tomorrow, you’re going to take Mr. Jeff with you to the night par

In the Pure Waters bar.Blackbear and Dewar were sitting before Rodnie in one of the private rooms on the first floor. There were women in bikinis on either side of Blackbear and Dewar, pressing and rubbing their arms, chest, and thighs with their arms as well as bodies.“We didn’t come here for this, Brother Rodnie,” Blackbear spoke, pushing the women aside.Dewar, however, seemed like he wanted the women to keep doing whatever they were doing.Rodnie gestured to the women to leave, and they skipped away on their toes.“I know why you came here, Blackbear,” Rodnie lit up his large cigar. “But I’m not going to join hands with the underworld again. I’ve long retired from that life. I do secret bettings, but that’s in order to satisfy some of my old friends’ requests and at the same time receive their help if necessary.”Blackbear kept staring at Rodnie, almost in a threatening manner. “You’ve lived twice as I did, so I don’t need to tell you what happens if you piss Boss Butcher off.”

In the landscaped front yard of the villa, Selena was talking with ten new bodyguards she had hired from a new security company. These guys were almost as big as the previous security unit, so she picked them from their appearances alone, without doing much of a background check because of the urgent need.“You’ll have a lot of work to do these coming three days, but your main duty stays the same. It is to keep everyone from my family safe, understand?”“Yes, ma’am.”“Now, go and help the other workers arrange for the event,” she ordered, and they obeyed.Even though they were bodyguards, and they didn’t need to do such labor, they still lowered their backs for the money Selena would be paying them.Selena went up to her daughters who were sitting together in chairs on the balcony, overseeing how the work was going.“Neither of you have eaten anything since morning, right?” she asked with care in her voice.“Actually I ate two bananas,” Veronica responded, making her mother sit in the

“Enough,” Rebecca slapped her sister without restraint. “Whoa,” Selena quickly got out of her chair. “What’s the deal, Rebecca? She was only telling the truth!” Rebecca angrily glared at Selena. “I hope you two are not doing this together.” “What?” Selena was bewildered. Veronica, on the other hand, looked hurt. Tears sprang to her eyes. “I came running to tell you what Benjamin did, and in return, you hit me in the face. Thank you. I will remember this gift forever.” She turned around and ran away. Rebecca realized that she might have made a mistake. “Wait, Veronica!” She called, but her sister didn’t stop. “Tch,” Rebecca put her hand on top of her head. “You should go and apologize,” Selena suggested. As far as she remembered, the last time Rebecca hit her sister was when Veronica stole her snacks back in high school and gave it to some guy in Veronica’s class. Veronica also cried then and told Rebecca she’d give her organs for free if Rebecca ever needed them. “Take her shoppi

“That’s the Supreme Bank’s Black Eagle!” Veronica covered her mouth in shock after seeing the card that Benyamin just pulled out.“Is that card that great?” Lisa asked curiously in a low voice.“You don’t know?” Veronica almost mocked Lisa with her gaze. “Only those who spend more than a million dollars a month are eligible to apply for those cards, but not everyone gets it! If there’s a card that billionaires fight for, it’s that card! The services it offers overshadows every other credit card in existence. It’s definitely the rarest credit card in the world!”“What?” Lisa’s jaw dropped.The total bill was 862,378 dollars. Benyamin tipped 137,622 dollars so the total would add up to 1 million.Lisa fell utterly silent. She had never seen anyone tip such a huge amount. Even her school friends who would exaggerate things only gave a few thousand dollars as tip. She began looking at Benyamin in a totally different light now. And she wasn’t the only one.As they exited the shopping mall

Once they got out of the car, Benyamin was stretching. Veronica took a full-view of his body. “I didn’t notice it, but he’s got a nice bum,” Veronica whispered to Lisa. “Only now?” Lisa looked down on Veronica. “That’s the first thing I noticed!” “You little perv,” Veronica rapped Lisa’s head with her knuckles. “Aw, stop,” Lisa slapped Veronica’s hand and said, “but seriously, I saw you crushing on him in the shopping mall, too. What’s going on? Did he become your new crush?” “I was just admiring him, you little fool,” Veronica slapped the back of Lisa’s head, which she hated. “Brother Benyamin,” Lisa called out for him, making him turn his head toward her. “My sister says she admires you so much.” Veronica was wide-eyed. “W-When did I say that?” she went back into the car and hid herself, feeling so embarrassed. “I wasn’t the one who said that. It was my sister!” Her voice was loud enough to reach Rebecca. Rebecca’s jaw hung open. “What?” she looked at Benyamin, and he faintly

“You will do what?” Selena raised her voice against her daughter. “Have you gone insane?” Rebecca, however, didn’t even look at her mother. Her focus was on Remedeus and his drunken father. “Mr. Fabio, right? Are your legs hurting as well?” “Rebecca!” Selena fumed, but Rebecca again didn’t spare a glance at her mother. Fabio, however, quickly nodded like a hungry little hound. If Rebecca were to really massage his legs, forget about his son, Fabio would be the first one to stand in the line! He might even gift her some of his theater sites if she satisfied him. “Alright, but it’ll be 100 million for one session,” Rebecca said, making the father and the son go silent for a moment. The price was so high, all the drunkenness left Fabio’s face. “So that means, you two will be owing me a lot after canceling the debt. So, do you guys have the money? Show me the money first, and then we’ll talk about the massaging.” Fabio was no longer smiling. “Hmph, what an arrogant woman you are. Is t

“Mom was right,” Rebecca was talking to herself after walking out of Ryan’s room. “You can’t trust anyone when it comes to money.” As she remembered how her own mother had kept Rebecca’s money with her, she smiled rather helplessly.Some of the moneylenders who were playing cards were staring at her without blinking as she passed by. She could see the lust in their eyes, even though some of them were trying to smile politely.“How would these moneylenders have behaved if it was Mom who owed them money and not Dad?” Rebecca didn’t even want to think about it. At the moment, as she felt gazes from every direction, she started feeling insecure for being born as a woman.Rebecca then went to Benyamin’s room. He was resting on his bed, but after he heard the knocking, he rushed to the door and opened it quickly as though he knew she was outside. He welcomed her in with a bright countenance. “Come inside, please.”Rebecca entered his room a little hesitantly. It used to be a guest room in t

George came to Rebecca who was sitting in front of a piano she hadn’t played in a long time.“Will you help me with learning the piano?” George asked her politely.“I myself am relearning it, so, no,” Rebecca replied, “uncle.”George laughed. “I’m your brother-in-law, not your uncle.”“Both are fitting,” she retorted, “in this case.”George found it embarrassing and frustrating that she wasn’t giving him any face even though he was just trying to be friendly, albeit with hidden intentions. “Do you know what happened to your sister’s husband?”“Akash left, it seems,” Rebecca said.“Yeah. But the shocking thing is that Veronica isn’t crying,” George opined. “Even enemies will shed tears as they’re parting, but… how come your sister isn’t shedding a tear? I didn’t know her heart was so cold.”“It is good that she’s not faking her crying like some others do,” Rebecca replied, startling George.“I-Is that what you think? Now that you put it that way, I don’t disagree.”Just then, Fiona arr

“Haha, did Veronica’s husband really go back to his country?” Fiona laughed excitedly as she privately talked with her daughter Riley in a guest room. “I didn’t think things would happen so smoothly. Now, we just need to introduce one of our rich allies to Veronica, and the rest will take care of itself. I should also deal with Rebecca’s husband, too.”“Mom, I need to tell you something,” Riley said.“Go on,” Fiona was eating sweet bread which Delle had made.“I…” Riley hesitantly said. “I think I’m in love with Benjamin.”Fiona choked on her bread.Riley quickly gave water.It was only after drinking the water, Fiona was able to breathe again. She took a few deep breaths and looked at her daughter in shock. “Are you fucking kidding me? You have a wedding soon, and you’re saying you fell in love with Rebecca’s husband? A pizza-delivery guy?”“No, mom. Rebecca’s husband is Benyamin, the guy with the wolf haircut, but the one I fell in love with is Benjamin,” Riley clarified, “the guy w

“It’s obvious that your sister has come here with a goal,” Selena was talking to Jacob in his room. “Fiona is a snake through and through. We can’t let her stay here for long, or she’ll cause our family to split up. If we give our daughters to the billionaires she refers to, then they will try to have control over our family. You do realize that, don’t you?”“So you want me to send my sister and her family away when they came to our house after so many years?” Jacob asked her back in an annoyed voice.“Yeah. You can’t hesitate with a snake, or it will bite you when you’re most vulnerable,” Selena added. “If you don’t send her away, she will stick in this house for a while and make a mess out of our family.”Jacob thought about it. “I can’t do it myself, but I know someone who can.”“Who?” Selena curiously asked.“Your eldest daughter,” Jacob smiled.“Rebecca?” Selena was surprised for a second. “I see. If Fiona confronts Rebecca about her marriage, then Rebecca wouldn’t just watch. If

“How are things with your family, brother?” Fiona asked.Selena raised an eyebrow. “You’re in a family that deals with real-estate, so you should already know how we’re doing.”“Haha, I do, but outside information can only be trusted so much,” Fiona responded. “Recently, we’ve worked hard on getting a marriage deal for Riley. Her fiance owns a reputed sports agency that deals with covering all the popular international sports. He earns hundreds of millions every year, but his father is a tycoon in the alcohol industry. Their net worth is in tens of billions.”“Good for you and your daughter,” Jacob smiled.“By the way, Brother,” Fiona glanced at Veronica and Akash. “What does Veronica’s husband do?”Jacob’s expression slightly changed.Veronica frowned and looked at her mother who was looking back at her with a rather poker face.“He is staying at home for now,” Veronica said openly.“Pfft, he’s jobless?” Riley snorted. “Your taste is so bad, Veronica, not just in terms of finding a pa

Benjamin went to the first floor and waited in the hall until Rebecca left her room.Then he went to her room. The door was locked, but he solidified his energy in the keyhole and opened the door.He entered the room quietly and saw the water bottle on the table next to her desk. It was half-full.Benjamin took out the vial and poured a drop of water into the bottle while saying ‘I love you, Rebecca.’He entered the bathroom and poured a couple of drops in the bathtub while once more uttering the three words ‘I love you, Rebecca.”He was about to come out of the room, but then he stopped and then ended up leaking another drop of water on the pillow, and another on the blanket. “I love you, Rebecca.”“Hopefully, this will help,” he thought.Benjamin then hurriedly left the room and then went to the rooftop. He mixed a few more drops in each of the four water tanks, while saying the words out, “I love you, Rebecca.”He looked at the vial.Three fourths of it was finished.He put the via

Despite Uzza, Rye, and Benjamin living in separate rooms, there were many guest rooms still available in the mighty Sterling villa, the best property on Rachel Hill.So, the families of Jacob’s siblings stayed in those rooms without any issue.But the problem was with the cousins, who were trying to show off. They acted arrogant and haughty with Veronica and even mocked Rebecca for the little hair she had on her head, not even bothering to wonder why exactly her hair was like that.Rebecca didn’t even bother talking to them, or sparing a word with them because she knew how selfish and self-centered these people were.Jacob and Shawn might have forgiven these people, but Rebecca couldn’t just act like nothing ever happened.She didn’t treat them badly, either. She just ignored them and minded her business.However, her cousin sisters got their eyes on Benyamin who was quite good-looking. Her cousin brothers were also unable to avert their eyes from Rye.Rye looked more like an exotic f

CHAPTER 899
So many people started visiting Sterling villa ever since Selena herself had leaked the news of her buying a lot of land and buildings in Aurora Hills.Selena was sitting on the balcony, with Veronica next to her.“Why has the traffic increased so much?” Veronica said, “I’m seeing so many cars come and go recently.”Selena somewhat smiled and sipped on cream coffee. “I wasn’t born rich, Veronica. My relatives didn’t even let my parents into their homes or invite us to their functions because we were poor as church mice.”“Stop joking, Mom,” Veronica smirked with amusement. “You look like a million dollars. I’m sure our relatives’ sons back then would have wanted to marry you.”“You’re not entirely wrong, but they didn’t want to marry me as much as they wanted to mess with me,” Selena said. “I still remember one guy telling me, ‘I may look ugly as hell, but I can show you heaven in bed.’”Veronica went silent in shock. She didn’t think her mother’s beauty would have brought such terrib

Delle was bringing food, three varieties, on a big plate.Rye intercepted and took the plate from her. She brought it to Benjamin and sat by him under the tree.The grass was cool, even though the breeze was warm.“You think I haven’t noticed that you weren’t eating anything since you made that 40-day promise?” Rye said. “You were just acting like you’re eating.”She broke the bread mixed with fruit and brought it closer to his mouth.He didn’t open his mouth.“Do you want me to stop eating just like you are doing?” Rye said.Benjamin, who was staring into the distance, glanced at her. “Is it possible to love and hate at the same time?”Rye pursed her lips together, not quite understanding why he asked such a question. “I was angry with the things you did. I am still angry, but I don’t hate you. So, if you really love someone, I don’t think you can hate them.”“If there is no hatred in his heart, then how is Neel able to do this to me?” Benjamin asked, a hint of pain laced through his

CHAPTER 897
Rebecca and Benyamin had breakfast together.This nearly made Selena’s eyes bleed. She didn’t think she’d live a day like this.Watching them eating happily was like injecting poison into her body.While she loved seeing her daughter happy, she couldn’t spare any mercy on the man who tricked her daughter into marrying him.Even now, she was thinking in her heart, devising plans on how to separate her daughter and her husband.Having lost the mood to eat breakfast, she came to the backyard.Amber was preparing the background setting needed for the interview.“Where’s Kathy?” Selena asked.“S-She’s with Samuel Sehla, ma’am,” Amber hesitantly said.Selena’s gaze turned a little icy, but then she smiled. “I knew Kathy had it in her, but I didn’t think she’d be able to grab the attention of someone like Samuel Sehla.” She looked at Amber. “What about you?”“I-I don’t plan on grabbing anybody’s attention,” Amber quickly replied.“Tsk, tsk,” Selena shook her head. “Try to grab Benyamin’s att
